"Is that white-clothed woman Feng Ninghe!"
The cultivators exclaimed, their eyes filled with emotion as they gazed at the figure.
If this person was indeed the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Ninghe, she possessed such courage!
The cultivators' voices reached their ears clearly.
Bai Niannian's pupils dilated slightly, her eyes fixed on the white figure. She murmured softly, "Feng Ninghe of the Feng family?"
During the Hundred Arena Competition, Feng Ninghe had soared, transforming from a cultivation waste into a remarkably talented cultivator.
If she hadn't forfeited the final match, she might have truly broken into the top three.
"Niannian! I knew this figure looked familiar, it's Feng Ninghe!"
Bai Hongyu exclaimed excitedly, his gaze shifting to Bai Niannian. "The Valley Master of the Medicine Valley only took Feng Ninghe as a disciple. I was wondering how another disciple suddenly appeared, so it was her!"
Bai Niannian looked at the figure with hopeful eyes, her voice soft as she uttered, "This is... the master I wish to apprentice under!"
On the eaves.
The elegant figure was spirited and unruly.
Feng Ninghe stood there, her gaze lowered as she looked directly at Bai Qianqian.
Bai Qianqian repeated over and over that she was a turtle, until her voice finally choked with emotion. She tilted her head up resentfully, meeting Feng Ninghe's gaze. "Are you satisfied now?"
Feng Ninghe's eyes were icy, devoid of any emotion as she looked at the person before her. "Scram."
As the two words fell, Bai Qianqian felt as if a great burden had been lifted. She didn't forget to issue a warning, "You wait for me! The humiliation I suffered today, I will repay it all!"
The warning did not affect Feng Ninghe. She stood there as if detached, unmoved.
Bai Qianqian instinctively glanced at the people under the eaves.
The cultivators had surrounded the area in layers, forming an impenetrable circle.
There were at least a thousand people below.
Bai Qianqian's heart trembled fiercely, and she quickly got up and fled in disarray.
She was, after all, a member of the Bai family, yet today she had fallen to such a state, becoming the laughingstock of the entire Li Kingdom. She would settle this score sooner or later.
"You're next."
Feng Ninghe turned her gaze to Qi Mu, casually removing the gag from his mouth.
Qi Mu, who had been watching the spectacle, was filled with panic.
No matter how you looked at it, Bai Qianqian was from the Bai family, and Feng Ninghe had shown her no mercy. How could she show any to him?
As soon as the gag was removed, Qi Mu seized the opportunity to speak, kowtowing and admitting his mistakes. "Miss, I was wrong! I shouldn't have impersonated a disciple of the Hermit of the Mountain Stream, nor should I have questioned you! I hope you, a magnanimous lady, will not hold it against me!"
"The Hermit of the Mountain Stream is the same person as the Valley Master of the Medicine Valley. He never took disciples, and you used the Hermit of the Mountain Stream's name to swindle people, and you expect to get away with it? A mere apology isn't enough, is it?"
Feng Ninghe raised her delicate eyebrows, her voice cold.
The surrounding cultivators erupted.
The Hermit of the Mountain Stream and the Valley Master of the Medicine Valley were the same person?
No wonder the Mountain Stream Medicine Manor closed just before the Medicine Valley was established. There was indeed a connection.
Qi Mu's body stiffened instantly, his lips twitching violently. He quickly said, "Miss, I am truly sorry, please forgive me. I will never dare to impersonate a disciple of the Hermit of the Mountain Stream again!"
"I was swindled by this person a few days ago. He tricked me out of ten thousand spirit stones, and it turned out to be fake!"
"I was swindled too. I say, killing him wouldn't be too much!"
The cultivators chattered amongst themselves, pointing fingers at Qi Mu.
Feng Ninghe narrowed her eyes, a cold glint spreading from her pupils. Her divine sense had already scanned him.
"Qi Mu, you've been deceiving and swindling for profit. As someone from the Medicine Valley, I will not hesitate to deal with you. Today, I will cripple your cultivation."
Her clear, powerful voice was strong and forceful.
Qi Mu panicked, his head hitting the tiles heavily as he continuously begged for mercy. "Miss, please spare me! I was just momentarily blinded by greed!"
The next moment, he felt a large hand tightly grip his dantian.
His heart tightened instantly.
But he had no strength to resist.
Bang!
Something inside him seemed to shatter.
His body seemed unable to retain spiritual energy, and countless streams of spiritual energy flowed out of him!
In the crowd, a pair of eyes were staring intently at this scene.
Feng Tongtong clenched her fists, her eyes filled with immense hatred.
She had rushed over the moment she heard the news, only to witness Feng Ninghe in her prime.
Feng Ninghe stood there like a perfect landscape, aloof and elegant.
Why should this lowly wretch steal all the limelight?
And she could only be humiliated and pointed at by the people of the entire Li Kingdom!
Now that her wedding to the First Prince was imminent, this marriage could not be canceled, and she could only grit her teeth and accept it.
With the Feng family behind her, the First Prince would not dare to lay a hand on her.
Perhaps after marrying Baili Ye, she would be able to use the prince's power to deal with Feng Ninghe.
Thinking of this, her eyes instantly deepened, and her expression turned cold.
"Ah! My cultivation!"
Qi Mu wailed in disbelief.
Feng Ninghe, who should have been standing in front of him, had already disappeared.
Bai Niannian's gaze had been fixed on Feng Ninghe. Seeing her withdraw, she quickly followed.
"Amazing sister! Wait for me!"
Bai Niannian caught up in a few hurried steps, her face flushed from running, but her bright eyes sparkled with starlight. "You are the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Ninghe."
Feng Ninghe had never intended to hide her identity.
Her identity revealed, she frankly nodded in acknowledgment.
The name Feng Ninghe had long been renowned throughout the Li Kingdom.
Her name even served as an inspiration.
Beside her, Bai Hongyu's breathing quickened slightly, his gaze fixed on Feng Ninghe, who wore a white veil.
The former sparrow had transformed into a phoenix.
She had also inherited the Medicine Valley.
This woman had a boundless future!
During the Hundred Arena Competition, he had thought about sparring with Feng Ninghe, but he never expected there to be no such opportunity.
"Miss Feng, if there's a chance, we must have a good spar. It's my regret not to have faced you in the Hundred Arena Competition."
Bai Hongyu's gaze was fervent, already eager in his heart.
Feng Ninghe smiled unhurriedly, her beautiful eyes holding hidden ripples of light. "Yes, there's plenty of time. We will eventually have the opportunity to spar."
"Sister Ninghe, have you ever thought about taking on a disciple?"
Bai Niannian blinked her eyes, her gaze fixed on Feng Ninghe, her eyes filled with intense anticipation.
"Taking on a disciple?"
She shook her head and denied it. "I have no intention of taking on disciples."
She was not suitable to take on disciples at the moment.
The road ahead was long, and she didn't know what formidable enemies she would encounter in the future.
Old Man Xu had pestered her for years wanting to be her disciple, but she had refused.
Bai Niannian was a little anxious, her clear, watery eyes fixed on Feng Ninghe. "Sister Ninghe, why don't you consider me? Although my cultivation is not as good as Bai Qianqian's, my talent is not low, and I learn things very quickly!"
Looking at the beautiful face before her, Feng Ninghe smiled and looked down at her. "With your talent and family background, you can completely find a better master. There's no need to apprentice under me."
